Aman Tokyo: The Gateway to Urban Discovery
Every night at Aman Tokyo there is a moment of calm, when the light starts to fade the city below gets warmer as the sky above turns cooler. Every golden hour is different from the last, and as the light passes through each immaculately designed space there is a new way to experience the beauty of this magical city.
You may be familiar with the name from yearly round-ups of the world’s best hotels – Aman Tokyo is first urban retreat from the Aman brand, located 33-floors above the Tokyo skyline in the heart of Otemachi. Created to ‘temper urban dynamism with a profound atmosphere of serenity’, each curated space is inspired by timeless Japanese design traditions, from washi paper textures, to ikebana displays and engawa platforms.
Each of the 84 guest rooms and suites provide expansive views of the Imperial Palace Gardens below, and Mt Fuji on the horizon on clearer days. The world-class Aman Spa includes a 30-metre pool with panoramic city views, customised daily itineraries and purifying treatments, making it a place to relax and restore the mind, body and soul.
The immersive experience does not stop there, with Aman Tokyo providing its take on refined global gastronomy. Four on-site restaurants showcase culinary traditions from around the world, from rustic Italian simplicity at Arva to master chef Musashi’s omakase sushi, served on an eight-seat hinoki cypress counter, and the newly opened La Pâtisserie, overseen by the expertise of Aman Tokyo’s Executive Pastry Chef, Yoshihisa Miyagawa.
